CALGARY — Two-time world championship silver medallist and three-time Olympian Jesse Lumsden has been named Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton’s high-performance director.

Canada’s governing body for bobsled and skeleton announced the move in a release Wednesday.

He replaces Chris Le Bihan, who parted ways with the organization in February.

Lumsden helped Canada win silver in two-man bobsled at the 2012 and 2017 world championships.

He represented Canada in both the two- and four-man competitions at three Olympic Games (2010, 2014, 2018) and teamed with Lyndon Rush to win the 2012-13 World Cup overall two-man title.
